I'm very impressed with how quickly Stripe has been able to get Apply Pay integration as part of their platform. I'll be looking into it for my own apps.

They were a launch partner when Apple announced Apple Pay. They most likely had advanced knowledge and have been working on integration for a long time.

"Apple Pay doesn’t replace In-App Purchases. You should use Apple Pay when charging for physical goods (such as groceries, clothing, and appliances) or for services (such as club memberships, hotel reservations, and tickets for events). You should continue to use In-App Purchases to charge for virtual goods such as premium content in your app."

Anyone understand why this is? Is there a reason I shouldn't let my users use Apple Pay to buy the freemium digital content on my website?

I don't quite understand what capitalized In-App Purchases means...oh, maybe Apple Pay is only possible from an app, not from a mobile web browser? Is that true? (But like, why?)

Applepay, it's so simple, so swift, so sleek... yawn. Anyone taking wagers for how long until Apple requires all physical goods/services sold via iOS apps to use ApplePay (just like they currently require all digital goods/subscriptions to use In-app purchases)? I'd place a bet on two years til Apple requires a cut.

Stripe is quite complimentary to ApplePaynow. I wonder how long they will also be complementary...

I know this is a long shot, but will it ever be possible to use Apple Pay with Checkout from a webpage?

Generate a visual code on checkout screen >> Scan with app + camera >> Apple pay.

Or use "continuity" on Yosemite if it is Mac > iOS

Apple's guidelines. In-App purchases can't be used for physical goods, but must be used for anything that does stuff through the app.

Sure, that would be one way to hack around it. I'm wondering, specifically, if Stripe Checkout[1] will ever gain Apple Pay support. Presumably it's up to Apple to expose the relevant API to javascript.

Apple wants to take their cut on In-App purchases, with a lesser cut for Apple Pay purchases.
